Saw this last summer, the ultimate way to tow!One of my business acquaintances managed to put his entire chevy van into the river backing in his boat. He didn't seem too phased by it. Covered by insurance

Our town has signs, rolling stops $140, complete stops free. I really don’t think the signs are effective.Absolute maniacs. People drive like crazy and no doubt the same people that complain their cars are junk and don't hold up. I come to a complete stop at stop signs and I am hated for it..
I like that....Our town has signs, rolling stops $140, complete stops free. I really don’t think the signs are effective.
Why are you picking on EV drivers?Some people think driving is like some big video game.
Maybe the next car feature will be a real auto stop where you can't move forward until your wheels actually stop at the sign...Years ago I did a rolling stop saw a cop and realized what I had done. He pulled me over. I smiled and said yeah I realized what I did as soon as I saw you. We both laughed and he sent me on my way.
We will probably see that kind of control in the future. Probably not in our lifetimes though.Maybe the next car feature will be a real auto stop where you can't move forward until your wheels actually stop at the sign...
The trees are possible Bradford Pear. They are an invasive species and very much frowned upon by arborists.
Ain't that the truthParking lots is where folks who can not afford to take their vehicle to the track go instead.
In my pic you can see them.The Bradford Pear was developed by the USDA at their facility in Beltsville, MD in the 1960s, as I recall. A "good idea" that had "gone wrong".
The best thing to do with a Bradford Pear is to cut it down and feed it into a Vermeer chipper/shredder (the BC700XL works well) and turn it into mulch.
Most of the Wendy's and several of the Burger King stores by me have closed. Cannot find help I guess. Remember when owning a burger franchise was the bigest thing for newly minted millionaires?No it's across from Wendy's and very nice to sit and eat at far away though.

They have honeysuckle like blooms.
I just looked up the pear tree..
Not it..
I observed the same thing about two hours ago at Fry’s parking lot. Except in this case, the guy was going closer to 45mph.About a month ago my poor daughter almost got creamed in a Target paking lot. She said a big pickup came barreling down the lot doing about 35 and had no intention of yielding to anybody. She completely locked up her brakes and they narrowly missed she said by a few inches. I swear sometimes I wish I had an old beater with a dash cam and just let them hit...
Literally here in Ames,IA. Someone rode a horse into our Walmart.Walmart. People watching at it's finest.
And to think that people used to have to pay to the zoo to see the animals. Now they can go to Walmart and watch them for free.
